US Classification:

719317, 709202

Abstract:

A system is implementable in a network including a plurality of coupled electronic devices. The system includes a first mobile agent object executable on an electronic device and operable to perform a first operation on a data set. A second mobile agent object is executable on an electronic device and operable to perform a second operation on a data set. A composition object is operable to enable the first mobile agent object to provide the data set to the second mobile agent object if the first mobile agent object and second mobile agent object are executing on the same electronic device. At least one bridging object can enable the first mobile agent object to provide the data set to the second mobile agent object if the first mobile agent object and second mobile agent object are executing on different electronic devices.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715748

Abstract:

A method, implementable in a system coupled to a display device and a network, includes generating in a first region of a screen of the display device a user-interface portion associated with a first electronic destination address. The user-interface portion is configured to receive from a second region of the screen, in response to a command by a user of the system, a first icon representing a data set. In response to the user-interface portion receiving the first icon, a copy of the data set, or the data set itself, is electronically transferred over the network to the first destination address.

US Classification:

715751

Abstract:

A method, implementable in a system coupled to a display device and a network, includes generating on a screen of the display device a first icon representing a data set. In response to a command by a user of the system to transfer respective copies of the data set over the network to multiple recipients, a visual indication of the status of the transfer of the copies to the recipients is displayed in association with the first icon. In response to each copy being completely received by each recipient, the visual indication is prompted to indicate transfer completion.

US Classification:

719317, 709202

Abstract:

A system is implementable in a network including a plurality of electronic devices coupled to each other via a communication medium. The system includes a first mobile agent object executable on an electronic device of the plurality and operable to perform a first operation on a data set. A second mobile agent object is executable on an electronic device of the plurality and operable to perform a second operation on a data set. A composition object is operable to enable the first mobile agent object to provide the data set to the second mobile agent object if the first mobile agent object and second mobile agent object are executing on the same electronic device of the plurality. At least one bridging object is operable to enable the first mobile agent object to provide the data set to the second mobile agent object if the first mobile agent object and second mobile agent object are executing on different electronic devices of the plurality.

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Seattle WA

International Classification:

A62B 700

US Classification:

12820523

Abstract:

An improved apparatus and method are provided for warning a pilot of life-support system failures wherein the life-support system includes at least a pressurization system and a breathing gas supply system. The breathing gas supply system which is contemplated in the presently preferred embodiment of the invention is the type wherein breathing gas may be supplied to the pilot from a plurality of on-board sources. The apparatus which is the subject of the present invention is responsive to both the operating conditions of the pressurization system and the breathing gas supply system to provide minimum warnings to the pilot thereby to improve the effectiveness of the warnings. The apparatus includes a plurality of indicators which, during normal operation, are substantially invisible to the pilot. The indicators are illuminated under certain variable conditions of the pressurization system and the breathing gas supply system. Further, a portion of the indicators may be illuminated in first and second formats whereby each format is indicative of a different priority emergency.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A system for assisting a fighter pilot in checking the six-o'clock position. By differentially inflating bladders placed under the seat cushion of the ejection seat of a fighter, the seat cushion can be rotated to the pilot's left or right to aid the pilot in checking the space directly behind the fighter. A system controller, responsive to actions by the pilot, causes the differential inflation of the bladders and controls the rotation of left and right harness straps. The system controller can actuate solenoid valves to control the bladder inflation or can mechanically rotate a fluid valve to control the bladder inflation. The bladders can be fabricated from a resilient material so that they automatically deflate when they are vented to the ambient atmosphere and their size can be limited by placing the bladders inside a resilient casing that has a non-resilient web connecting the opposed surface of the casing.
